Fun one to be at.

I enjoyed it as well.

With 23 days remaining until the return of Hawkeye football, we celebrate the one man in Iowa football history who could convince an entire student section to say to hell with our school colors, we're going GREEN for the biggest game of the year.

At #23, it's Doak Walker Award winner Shonn Greene.

Best in the Ferentz era.

Best ever in an Iowa uniform? Small sample, but what a year it was.

With 22 days left, we start by celebrating the undefeated 1922 Iowa Hawkeyes, who went 7-0 and won the Big Ten title for the second consecutive season. Several polls tabbed Iowa as national champions, though Iowa has never officially claimed any of them.

Gordon Locke was the anchor of this year's team, racking up 1st Team All-American honors, wrapping up a career that would eventually earn him a spot in the CFB Hall of Fame.

The highlight of the season, though, had to be Iowa's 6-0 road upset of then-eastern power Yale. It was the first loss by the Bulldogs, then referred to as the Elis, to a "western" team in program history, and they would not lose to another such team again until 1938, when they lost to Michigan.

*Fans appear by the thousands to an event hosted by the Des Moines Register to get updates on the 1922 Iowa-Yale contest.

Makes you wonder how those Ivy League schools with their money and influence never grew into monsters in sports.
